PCV for turbo use, Purolator PV1009
I haven't thought much about my PCV valve during my years with my miata. It came with the 323GTX valve when I bought it which sealed well under boost. From what I understand this is the go-to valve and runs ~$20 from FM. Plastic Mazda valve.
So the other day while running all of it, my plastic PCV cracked into two pieces. I found this metal in-line PCV from Advance Auto for ~$3 and they keep them in stock. Purolator PV1009. Mine looked like this, silver not gold like in advance auto's stock photo:
I tested it with my air compressor to around 20psi and no leaks. Direct replacement for the 323GTX valve, all metal for only $3 and no leaks is a win. I need a 90 degree valve ideally so I also picked up a $6 rubber boot in their 'help' section...that should work well for you 99+ guys with 90° PCV valves.

I 3rd the check valve.
Which do you use Brain?
I tried a 3/8" from USPlastics but it has very low flow. So now I'm looking this from McMaster.
I found it on an SRT forum and most seemed satisfied.
Edit: My GTX valve leaked so that's why I'm looking at check valves.

I bought a set of 3 medical check valves off ebay for a few bucks. rated to 500°F and worked great.
I ran the stock pcv valve and the check valve and never had issues. there was never a drop of oil in my charge pipes.
